Day 3 of Camp

Our day three at camp started like the other days so far- campers reported to camp at 10 am and we had our morning meeting, video and journal time.  What happened after that was a surprise to the campers, well mostly, because we told them to bring appropriate clothes and swim wear.  We loaded up and went to a lake about 10 kilometers away from the town to enjoy a day of relationship building, swimming, paddle boating, cooking lunch, the talk, discussion groups and finally the all-American favorite s'mores.

The weather was perfect and the day was fun for everyone.  Tomorrow we resume our schedule from English camp.  We have three days of camp left so we just got over the halfway mark of camp.  During our team meeting tonight after dinner, I encouraged the team to stay focused and energetic to push through to the end of camp.  We still have a lot to do and we are working on building deeper relationships with the kids and being that bridge to the local church leaders at camp.

I've been especially encouraged because the church's pastor has been here most of the time and he has been leading the talks to the students.  This is not the norm- so the fact that the pastor is here also building relationships with the students is a huge win for this camp.  I'd ask you to join us in praying for these relationships that are developing as the students hear the gospel this week.  Many seeds are being planting and we are trusting the Lord for the fruit.
